Re: “More seniors citizens going to pot,” July 13.
While it is important to consider cannabis demographics and widespread use of cannabis among elders, it is essential to look at the future (our youth) in our communities as a public concern and a policy priority as we approach the full legalization and regulation of cannabis on Oct. 17.
Parents’ and grandparents’ perspectives on adolescent cannabis use can help educators provide a significant viewpoint on preventing or delaying youth use and may offer the “best preventive” approach in discussions about the potential consequences of legalization and youth.
